OVERSTOCKED OR NOT??

would my tank be overstocked if i had 2 guppies 1 red fire dwarf gourami 1 golden gourami 1 small pleco sucker fish and 2 small clown loaches?? i have a 17 gallon tank i need ur help once again guys!! im just wonderin cause thats what im hopin 2 get in but i would also like a cory catfish ???

the thing about the pleco is when it outgrows my tank i can give it 2 my best m8 and then he'll sell it in the pet store or he'll keep it but they grow pretty slowly his pleco has grown about an inch in 8 or 9 months

im always in so early in here lol different time zones ah but anyway i did sum calculations the 4 fish i hav in my tank at the minute have taken up 6.6 gallons so plenty of room left guys fully grown its about 8 gallons so still room left im gettin my new batch next weekend probably friday up in G T's and Pets At Home < they have the smallest plecos ive ever seen lol so i'll tell u all how my new arrivals get on

i think the whole pleco thing is a bit over-rated... they grow REALLY slowly, like REALLY!!! i've got a six, maybe seven year old at 5". i know the whole 'fish dont grow bigger than the tank they're in' theory has been mostly dispelled, but some of the older fish i have that apparantly are supposed to be HUGE aren't!!! i assume mostly to do with the tank size, but then again..?! who knows but the fishes

i totally agree with u m8. My best m8s tank which he has had 4 a year or so his fish that he has in it r meant 2 b huge like the pleco and has only grown like an inch and abit it is very over rated i think as well

I really am not trying to discourage you, but my Plecos grow quite fast. My Little Monster was maybe 2-3" when I got him about 7 weeks ago. I'd have to say he's close to 5" now. I kid you not. And the Monster, he was about 6-7"" or so when I got him and he's maybe 9-10" now. Just letting you know
